"My name is Zhang Shihao, Scorpio, O type, swimming team, guitar club." I believe that no one does not like such a boy, he is almost a prince in a girl's dream. When Meng Kerou officially met Zhang Shihao for the first time, he wore a blue floral shirt and rode his bicycle through the street, as if he was deliberately waiting for Meng Kerou to follow. The first time she formally spoke to him was in the swimming pool at night. In the dark blue night, with large blue waters, Zhang Shihao was like a free fish, traversing the entrance of the unknown world. The day they decided to date was at night. Their first date was by the sea, and Zhang Shihao's clothes also had a "fish" written meaningfully. The day they kissed and parted was at night. The first day they quarreled was at night. Meng Kerou cried for the first time after receiving a phone call from Zhang Shihao, at the seaside at night. Meng Kerou finally came to her mother to seek answers, and it was also at night.
Night, night, night. In countless nights, the world was shrouded in a dark blue tone, and the girl began to think clumsily but delicately. She left her room, walked through the stairs covered in blue light, and came to the free fish or the girl who was vaguely close friend and "first love", trying to find the answer. In fact, to put it bluntly, youth is just a short journey to find answers, and the questions that appear in front of you are just "who am I", "where do I come from" and "where will I go". Then the fish told her that instead of thinking so much, it was better to give it a try. So the journey to open the blue door began.
Blue is often overlaid with a hesitant emotional tone. But people who are troubled by the secular forget that blue is the most common color in nature. The sky and the sea are both delicate and pure blue, and she is also a popular color that can be accepted by common people, because she is not as dark as black, not as lustful as red, and not as flamboyant as yellow. All she has is the ordinary that makes people feel comfortable physically and mentally. Just like the initial adolescence that each of us once spent, it was ordinary and soothing, full of doubts and expectations, without all the troubles of secular society, let alone the tension and excitement of American blockbusters, and without any heavy color. Meng Kerou was standing outside the blue gate, the water was turbulent, she couldn't see what the other side of the gate looked like. So Zhang Shihao swam to her side, showing his wet head with a smile and said, "You will know if you try it."
There are many youth movies in Taiwan, but this one is my favorite. Every time I watch it, I feel that I am young again. Because the overall tone of the film is so coordinated with that light-year. The picture is clean and fresh, the narrative is not rushed or slow, and the music is mostly piano soundtrack, making people's heartbeats involuntarily follow the jumping rhythm and dance. There are only two songs with lyrics in the whole film, all of which are light and lively. There is always a relaxed and beautiful mood and atmosphere. The style is so compatible, it is almost the same as most people's memories of that time, clean and pure without any Gong Li color, and there is no trouble of employment, salary, house and marriage. Or rather, it's a film about the cardamom years, because after high school, our adolescence is always overshadowed by the pressure of school. For most people, especially most girls, those green years are more like "Blue Gate" and "Flower and Alice" than "All About Lily Zhou" and "Guling Street Boys" Murder" or even "Monga" is as dark and cruel.
Meng Kerou finally lay beside her mother, wanting to know the answer, but her mother did not tell her clearly. So she sighed from the bottom of her heart, "I really hope to see that day soon." Who knows what that day will be like? One year, three years and five years, although Chen Bolin has long hair, a beard, a layer of oil on his stomach and alcoholism in "Slam Dunk" a few years later, he is decadent and narcissistic, but Meng Kerou is in the hearts of every audience in front of the screen. Zhang Shihao should still look bright and spotless.
The young Zhang Shihao is the phantom of the prince in every girl's growth process, and beautiful things will always make people like them. On the other side of that blue door, once we were the silly kid who stood and watched.
